    The 325 is a PR, right? Good work!

    Yes it is, the most i had ever pulled before was 305 for 1. So I tied my 5rm for DL and set a new 1rm PR, wicked that workout even made today better!

    Well looks like my Remembrance Day bender caught up with me. Way too much drinking and being a p.o.s. since the 11th has brought me down a peg or two

    Squat
    255x5x3 (PR)
    I er, forgot what i was supposed to be doing today. Didn't check my log before I went to the gym, so i skipped a few steps. Turned out nicely tho! drinking makes me dumb

    Press
    145x5x1 / 145x3x1 / 115x5x1
    and here was the downfall!

    Pullups
    5/4/4

    Alright, I completely fucked up this workout. Jumped numbers, failed sets etc etc. Good pts. being dumb made me realize I'm stilll going good on squats 255 wasnt that hard. Bad news i failed to tie my previous Press PR from last week. Good, pull ups are coming along nicely.

    Basically I go back to not being dumb on Wed. I was just right out of er from the bender didnt have my mind right.

    3/5 today just because I'm dumb

    Bench
    195x5x1
    195x3x2
    More on this later

    Deads
    305x5x1 (PR)
    355 1 RM(PR)

    Squat was good today, a little bit of elbow pain in my left arm which carried over to my bench.
    Bench.....my usually training partner is away for a couple weeks so I had to rely on people from the gym to help me with a spot. No problem I'm a nice fella'. Spotter #2, 2nd set, I explained my intentions and how i would like him to not touch the bar until i said so. He indicates he understands as soon as I started to slow down after my 3rd rep he pretty much grabbed the bar, so I racked it. Spotter #3 same thing. Spotter #1 was great, didnt touch the bar and even gave me encouragement, it was nice. I wish he hadn't of left the gym.
    Deads, 305 was great, felt real good. Then that nagging little voice in my head made me try a 1rm of 355 and i got it! My whole body was shaking, I felt like i was going to collapse, awesome!

    Back at er after a week in the field, lost 10lbs I guess rations just don't cut it.
    BW 211

    Squat
    245x5x3

    Bench
    185x4x3

    Deads
    325x5x1

    A little disappointed on bench today, but i wasn't really feeling it today on bench. i need an attitude adjustment haha. Squat felt nice, struggled a bit on the 4th and 5th reps of each set, felt good to struggle again and come out tired. deads felt awesome! Training partner said form looked nice and I had pretty good speed on them until the 5th rep.

    Signed up for my bases powerlifting comp on dec 10th. Should be a fun experience to just get out there and see what I can do. i'm aiming for 850 and I think I will get it so it should be fun.

    Dec.1

    Squat
    250x5x3

    Press
    135...4/5/4

    Chins
    5/4/3

    Squat felt good again. Press... I don't know... combine stupidity with miscounting my 3rd set and failing on my 1st set, and it just doesn't turn out well. Chins are getting better I am happy with the progress here.
